How many other user interactions are generally considered objectively bad practice? Sure, there may be a time and place, but what is frequently overused?

What else?

Point taken. It was really annoying to try to read one of the slides of the carousel because it kept moving.

I thought for sure this was going to be one of those "isfirefoxfastyet" style sites that was just a <h1>no</h1> but I guess the message is driven further home by hiding the "no" in the 2nd "page" of the carousel

This is not a carousel. It's a slideshow.

Netflix movie selector is a carousel

Makes me nostalgic for figurative carousels.

Sadly it's now part of CSS.

Thanks, Google. https://adrianroselli.com/2025/05/my-request-to-google-on-ac...

I haven't seen carousels lately, seems like the trend has mostly died out.
